[Elecraft] New to HAM and the K1

[Jim Cannan]

Hello,

I am new the to HAM hobby and just finished building my first K1.  All has
went well for the most part, but I am having trouble understanding the
alignment process.  I have searched the email list and older postings to try
and find some help but still a little fuzzy.  First off,  I am currently a
contractor overseas and do not have access to a lot of equipment or parts.
I usually have to order stuff in even the simple stuff like solder.  So
anyway I purchased the signal generator kit from elecraft to use for a
signal source for alignment and I am having trouble knowing whether it is
even working or not.  Its supposed to be 7.040 MHz but I go to that freq and
can't find it.  So I thought about using the Spectrogram software, but not
sure how to connect that to the K1, since there is no RS232 connection.  Any
help would be appreciated.
